O-H-S -- "Yesterday I had to wait about 45 minutes for Amazons to be thrown. I don’t think I get credit for that, am I correct on that? "
-- Most likely. However, IF you were pulled down, the vehicle loaded, had no other duties to perform, THEN you might be able to get some compensation.
-- Step 4 ( W-9 ) In part -- What a carrier is required to wait for only DPS letter mail or other mail that does not require casing, including, but not limited to, PARCELS or boxholders, has not other rural carrier duties to perform, including the strapping out of ALL cased mail; and is prepared to depart the office to effect delivery, the carrier will be compensated for the time the carrier is required to wait. ( probably would apply any time of the year -- except during count )
-- If you had a counter who was willing to time you to load, good for you. However - comma - manglement will no doubt point out that you don't have all your mail yet, so can not do that last pull from the Hot Case on your way out the door. And there would still be the need to get timed for the last of the Amazon parcels to be loaded and returning the buggy to its designated spot as well has signing out on the 4240 or swiping out, if swipe cards are used in your office.
-- Might as well get timed to do other things such as work on the Edit Book or checking the Hot Case while waiting for the clerks to throw parcels.
-- Or do other untimed events such as reconcile counter sheet numbers with items on your work sheet or take a bathroom break.
-- But keep writing down the wait time on the 4240 for future reference.
